Here is a quick reference guide to how long you can expect to go between references to something written by or featuring Sir Paul McCartney:
| Location | Time |
|---|---|
| The 60s ratio station | 18 minutes |
| The 70s radio station | 17 minutes |
| The 80s radio station | 34 minutes, but it’s going to be “Spies Like Us” distressingly often |
| NewsRadio 88 | 46 hours |
| Any given episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 | 54 minutes |
| The 50s radio station | There are no 50s radio stations anymore |
| Foreign currency exchange markets | 12 minutes (!) |
| Dave Davies’s house | Once per year, as in late March he figures to write an April Fool’s e-mail to Ray Davies saying Paul invited him on tour because nobody else can sing “Death Of A Clown” right, only he has to delete the unsent e-mail because once again this year he hasn’t got Ray Davies’s e-mail |
| As Wake-Up Music On The International Space Station | 4 days |
| Commercials Supporting The Existence Of Banks | Surprisingly short |
| Those tiny toy music boxes at the museum gift shop | Continuous until the cashiers go mad |

LATE BREAKING PAUL McCARTNEY NEWS: Just read an interview where he explains the line “You know what I mean”
He says it’s a replacement line for the first time he showed John a lyric and John said, “Are you serious with this line?”
The lyric was originally “She was just seventeen/never been a beauty queen” .So basically it’s meaningless, it just fits the established meter.

Exciting news! It’s comforting to know the line was created as gibberish and two of the century’s best songwriters were able to sculpt it into something vaguely creepy. … Now if we could explain Ringo’s “You’re Sixteen” …
